children, however, has six toes aud six
fingers, as did also her father, a brother

long interval of silence.
At last Mile stole sly glance at
the face of her companion to see how
he bore up under the deserved denun-
citation.
He seemed to be bearing up under
it remarkably well, for he was indulg-

sobered instantly, however, when he
saw that she was looking at him.
Before she could demonstrate, he
had clasped her in his arms.

Native or Foreign Trees.

An editorial in the Century closes as
follows: I'VE feel justified in adding
to these general statements a word OF
strong recommendation in favor OF
native as against foreign, or at least
as against European, trees. At the
best the latter are uncertain in almost
every case, while the former have an
Unborn and a well-proved title to be
trusted. The most successful orna-
mental planting that has ever been
done in America shows its results in
streets Of such towns as Stock bridge,
Great Darlington, Salem, and New
Haven, and was the work of men who
went to the forest and not to the nur-
sery for their infant elms and naples.
Certainly our more recently planted
parks offer small promise of like
maturity of beauty with their Euro
pean oaks and ashes, their Scotch
and Austrian pines, in almost as de.
plorable state as their Norway
spruceS. When not ornamental bui
economic plantations are in question,
past experience tells very strongly
against European trees, while the evi.
dence of recent experiment with native
trees-as in the plantations of in
digenous conifers in eastern Massa-
chusetts-is of the most encouraging
kind"
